Abstract

A process to assemble an arrangement of a snack and a beverage container, along with promotional material, all mountable 4 into a standard vending machine slot (use language of claim) within the product storage area previously occupied by a beverage container or a snack alone performed during the normal replenishment maintenance of the vending machine product storage area or off-the shelf also occuping the same space as a beverage container alone. Said assembly consisting of placing a snack product prepackaged to surround the top of a beverage container, engaging a retaining device capable of holding the snack in place during the dispensing of the combination yet allowing easy disassembly of the combination by the consumer after retrieval of the combination from the external area of a vending machine after the combination has been released from the product storage area upon payment of sufficient currency and selection of the product or purchased off-the shelf. The retaining device of a disk and bottle cap attachment may be replaced with a containment cage surrounding the snack and beverage container. Preselected promotional material may be printed on the retaining device disk as well as on the containment cage. The top of the containment cage may contain additional promotional material in the form of a mini-CD disk containing software, audio program, or a video program.
